I can't believe you guys are already talking about what QB to draft. We are up against 6 teams with winning records. I'm not afraid of these teams and believe we can win 5-6 games.
My point is simply educate in the off season when we have absolutely nothing to talk about and I can enjoy learning from all of you about potential talent to evaluate.
I'm more interested in will Sammy and Woods get separation against the Chiefs as they are #1 against the pass. They are 18th against the run so hopefully Dixon and Brown can have their coming out party and run all over the Chiefs.
I'm not criticizing you guys, I just can't think about drafting now. Besides, if Orton plays even better in the back half of the year, and we don't have a first round pick, can we get some decent Guards to bolster our line.

Miami's crushing of SD was impressive, as was the NE win.
but they fell flat on the following games. Last week it took turnovers on D for them to beat the Jaguars
so it comes down to which team the Bills face in 10 - 11 days
from what I heard the Browns snuck out a win ... so I'm still concerned, but not worried,
The Browns barely beat the Bucs. Hard to admit living in Tampa, but the Bucs are just awful. The O-Line is atrocious, defense is porous, and undisciplined.
First things first, we have to beat the Chiefs at home. If we do that, we can beat the Fish? I believe the advantage goes to a strong defense on these short weeks. Our defense is quite a bit better than Miami's defense, but they did look very good against the Chargers.

How is this a surprise benching Fitz?
Nice guy, serviceable back up, and that's it.

I'd pick the Ravens as well, but you wouldn't go wrong with Steelers.

God i hate the Patriots. Just when you think the Patriots are in for it with the following teams, Broncos (Destroyed by the Cheatriots), Colts (killed last week against the steelers), Lions (Barely beats the Falcons), Packers, and Chargers (Killed by the Dolphins).
I was excited as I expected the Broncos to be 7-1, Patriots 6-3, and facing four tough teams in the next month.
Now, I'm not sure we can keep up. If we beat the these teams over the next month, 3 of them are 5-3 now.

Kelly, thanks for the comments. There are a lot of guys on this board very jealous of you. I like Whaley and Marrone. There are too many people who just want to fire people left and right and that is a big part of why we are in this situation.
Continuity is what this team needs right now and we will keep getting better.
I'm glad to hear it on Winston, and the best thing for this team is for Orton to keep evolving with his teammates, and be our franchise guy for the next four years. I'd love to draft a QB in two and actually let him develop like Rodgers.

I'd love to see the Fish and J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets win this week.
More importantly, I want to see the Broncos, Colts, Lions, Packers, and Chargers win in that order over the next 6 weeks as there is one week there is a bye. Who do they play in that order you ask? Well, here's a Hoodie hint along with Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. That is a tough schedule so even if we win our next four games, and Oakland, we would walk into the last game of the season possibly with a tie record to the Patsies.
Can you imagine us beating Marsha in Foxboro to win the AFC East in week 17 with an 11-5 record? At 11-5 we could even get a bye. Ok, no I'm not drinking at 9 am, but a man can dream. I love drinking cool aid as long as I can.
Have a good day guys. I'm on a lacrosse and soccer field all day today, and can't wait to camp out all day tomorrow and just enjoy the awesome games tomorrow. The Cards/Cowboys ( Go Birds ! ) at 1pm, Broncos/Pats ( shred them Manning ) at 4pm, and Steelers/Ravens ( no opinion as I like both teams, just love a slug fest ) at 8:30 pm. Man if I could put a catheter in me, I'd never leave the couch.

I'd love to see Orton be our guy for the next five years. After a bye and time to keep learning the offense, and create synergy with WR, could Orton take a real step forward with even less sacks, and better production.
We remain focused on improving our G situation, Safety, and TE. We could be a damn good team for the next couple of years. We have time to draft a QB as you won't ever get one in free agency.
It could be next year, or the year after for a QB. This could be the beginning of a nice change in Buffalo.
-
Don't forget the Cardinals / Cowboys. That will be just as fun. I love the Cardinals, and Bruse Arians should be up for coach of the year again. Between losing Dansby to free agency, Washington to suspension, and the injuries, and they still have the best record in the NFC and tied with the Broncos overall.
After watching the Cowboys not handle all out blitzes well against the Redskins, it will be interesting to see how Arians dials up pressure on Romo.
-
Nothing is going to change mid year, and we'll see how he does with a QB with now enough time with his players. Urbik may have helped out, as it looked like we had more time against a tough defense in the Jets.
I believe we'll see more passing in the back half of the year.
-
Hackett is not as bad as people make him out to be on this board. He is trying to run a balanced attack with a QB who had no off season, or training camp to get his offense down.
I expect lots of running against the Chiefs as it is their weak spot vs. #1 against the pass. I do expect a much more fun passing attack though against the Dolphins, Jets, and Browns. We need a lot of momentum going into December with an offense playing as well as the defense. You'll see among the stats (not that I care as the only stat that matters is wins) our offense will move up each week for the next month.
-
If you read the recent WGR article, they show we are not calling run, run, pass. I agree we need to pass more and believe we will as the synergy gets better between the players and Orton. He of all people needed the bye week.
I think we will still see more running against the Chiefs which is the right call as they are #1 against the pass, but weak against the run. If Fred is back, he'll definitely get called to run quite a bit.
I bet we'll have a very balanced attack as we go into the last half of the year.
-
I don't think either one of them are retiring soon. They both look like they love the game, get paid $20 mil to do it, and have solid teams. As Brady said, he'll stop playing when Mr. Kraft and Coach Belicheck think I suck. I see Manning possibly winning the SB, but would come back.
The only way these guys retire is if they take some major shot and deal with a significant injury. They get rid of the ball so quickly though, they are not taking many shots.
Besides, I may be in the minority, but I love watching these games. They are so much fun to watch and probably the highest rated games beyond the playoffs.
-
Good point. The jets should beat up their O-Line. They are #1 against the pass, but they have lost to teams like the Titans. Even if they win against the Jets, they'll look ahead of us to the Seattle game the next week. They will like everyone think we are an easy win.
Yes, they are third overall in defense, but deceptive as they are susceptible against the run, and I heard one report Fred may be back for this game. If so. I like these three backs.
We'll be fresh and Orton will have two weeks to keep improving his timing with the WR.
Their offensive strength is their run game, not the passing game. Our defense can slow down their run game and possibly open up some INT opportunities, even though Alex Smith is usually good with the ball.
I love that we are at home for this game, two of the next three after that game.
Thank god Urbik is now in there to protect. We'll have to cover up Pears with extra FB help, or TE.

Something's going on as Mike Williams was a stud in Tampa. 3 of 4 seasons he was above 1000 yards. I'm not blaming Hackett or Marrone. I don't know. I don't expect you guys to know Williams as I live in Tampa, but it is really perplexing they have a talent like him, yet do not play him.
Maybe he isn't putting in the time in the film room, or spending extra time with Orton. It makes no sense, from a business as he has a chance to do well this year, and can make some decent money. If he gets cut next year, he will go for the league minimum. Is he that dumb to not put it on the line for this team.
It's a damn shame as he could be an excellent #2 and a great red zone threat. I'm really disappointed in him at this point.

Guys- I taped the NFL rewind Bills game and just fun to watch. I wish they would keep to an hour vs. 1/2 hour as they skipped some nice sacks on our defense.
Man it was great to see some of those deep passes to Watkins, etc.
He's not Brady, but I'll take him. If he gets time to gel with the WR, this is what we've been waiting for Ina durable QB. I bet he'll love being the man, and if he plays well through the rest of the year, and starts well next year, we extend him at a decent price. He'll never garner big money, but we can win with him.
You know damn well if we had him in Houston, this team would be 6-2 right now, going into a softer part of the season for four weeks. I'm not saying the Chiefs or Browns are easy, but they aren't the Broncos.
-
The next five games for NE are the Broncos, Colts, Lions, Chargers, and Packers. They'll finish with the Dolphins, Jets, and Us.
I see some losses here for the Patriots.
-
And then...in true Buffalo fashion, we lose to Denver and Green Bay...We lay an egg in Oakland...and then all we need to do is beat the Patriots 3rd string...and we finish 9-7. The script is written...
Dude, your a buzz kill. Can't you let us ride the wave for now?
I do see us in one scenario hitting 9-3, and beating the Raiders. We finish 10-6, or maybe 11-5 if we can beat one of the three in an upset (Denver, Green Bay, or NE). My preference is NE as I'd love for us going in as the AFC East champs as look at 5 of NE's opponents.

RJ, right on the money which is why I like listening to NFL radio play by play as you get Murph and Kelso even living in Tampa. My problem there is there is a five minute delay so your watching at a sports bar the game, and you hear the plays five minutes later.
I don't mind some of the TV announcers like Phil Simms, Joe Buck, or Rich Gannon. They don't know everything about the team, but enough to make it interesting.
That is why I don't like the local radio here, but prefer the NFL radio commentators. They are more well informed than the people on NFL network, or ESPN. Those guys drive you crazy as they know so little about the Bills.
-
Thanks much, I think it confirms what we suspected and what we saw.
However, I do have one issue: You based it on 17 pass plays, well, Orton was sacked four times, and scrambled at least one time for positive yards. Those are pass plays by design, and also pass plays that weren't executed. "Obviously" something broke down on those plays, they should be included in the analysis as well.
Most of the sacks cam from overloads from the outside, not the interior. That's up to our tackles, tight ends, and RB's. Urbik played a very good game against one of the best front 7's in the league.

Even if you have to shell out 25 million for Dareus and Hughes its worth it. Mario and Kyle are older players their big contracts will either be restructured or off the books in the next year or two. Keep the young guys there and use the dead money to cover you on the cap to cover the costs and in order to upgrade other positions of need (Guard, Tightend, WR, and corner) find the money with cuts to other guys on the roster and draft choices (Mike Williams would be a good place to start).
Yep, Mario's can be restructured, and one thing I didn't see is the new TV money is coming. I can't remember if it was 2015 or 16, but there is a big jump in TV revenue, and the players get over 50%. In addition, the league received a jump in revenue with 8 CBS tr night games. This will go out to bid for next year and go to 16 games. So Fox, CBS, and NBC will fight for that revenue, as it has the highest ratings for a TR night.
So my point simply is we will have the money to resign Hughes and Dareus. Lastly, remember the remaining part of our defense is not that expensive meaning our secondary and LB crew. We also don't have a lot of money in a QB or very high priced WR. Now Glenn will cost money in time.

> But Orton's not the long-term answer. Is EJ?
Of the two, Orton is much more likely to be the long-term answer than EJ. Manuel isn't a more accurate passer than Losman. He isn't better at processing information quickly than Losman. His physical tools are not much different than Losman's. Losman can't make an NFL roster as a backup, let alone provide a team with a long-term answer as a starter. Why will Manuel's career be any different?
On the other hand, Orton's pre-draft scouting reports indicated he was good at processing information quickly; and that he had the polish of a ten year vet. He also throws the ball accurately, at least the vast majority of the time. He's only 31. Orton is far more likely to be a late bloomer--in the vein of Rich Gannon--than Manuel is to suddenly become something he is not, and never has been.
If Manuel starts throwing the ball very accurately in practice, and does so consistently, then maybe you revisit the above logic. But there's no reason to give him more snaps in games than his performance in practice has earned. The first round pick squandered on him is a sunk cost. The hope invested in him was based on wishful thinking; not on a disciplined, realistic assessment of the strengths and limitations he'd displayed as a college player.
Well written. EJ has shown he will not progress. I don't care where he was drafted. He had enough time to just improve and did not. He's a nice kid, and tries hard, but is now relegated to a back up. On the other hand, Orton who is only 31, can easily play for another 5 years with the new rules against hitting the QB.
Orton has finally found a team that wants to give him a chance. He has an excellent defense, we will get our running game, and some serious weapons. With more time, Orton is only going to get better with more rhythm with his WR. We get Kiko back next year, god I hope we resign our core players like Hughes, and we can take our time over the next couple of years finding a QB in the draft. I can't believe we finally found a QB who makes good decisions.
So what if the media doesn't like Orton! Or thinks he is a back up. I love it. Keep us under the radar. A month from now we could end up 9-3 going out to Denver. I din't see us beating the Broncos, but at some point people will notice the Bills. I hope it's later vs. sooner.

Guys - kikomis meant for the Wil just like a Derrick Brooks. He wasn't powerful enough to handle the Guards which is contributing factor to the running on us last year. He will be much better in space, chasing down Gronk, picking people off, and versatile.
Brown and don't write off Spikes for next year at the Sam. They can work interchangeably, and we always need depth (see Fredex and Spiller- we Eed depth).
Bradham will do an awesome job at the Sam. I'd rather have Lawson then Rivers backing up.
This is a no brainer. For those that are football coaches in high school, even pop Warner, can you imagine this defense with Kiko at the Wil. We'd be even better, but Kiko is NOT a Mic LB. he just overachieved.
Don't rad into this message as he is one of our most talented players on the defense. He is just meant for a 4-3 Wil, that's all. I love the guy.
Week 10: Chiefs' Game Preparation - Fred & Sammy Both Active

The playoffs are about these next four games. If we really have improved our run defense and hold the Chiefs to under 70 yards we can beat the Chiefs. I'm not afraid of their WR. Charles though is probably the best RB in the league.
One thing I really have been impressed is not necessarily our front four, but it's the depth on the D Line. Our relievers are good. It's so fun watching them just hammer offenses and keep opposing RB's to net losses in yards. It will be fun to watch Spikes vs. Charles.
